Guandong Yunmengtan

In order to help Gu Yi find his father, Meng Xiang, a good student, asked the school for a week-long vacation, and spent three days running around with him, searching the streets and alleys of Tokyo, groping for all the possible places Gu Weidong might go like a hunting dog. circle, but nothing.The police have also filed a case. The police said that if they find an unidentified suicide in the past few days, they will contact them in time. This stylized notification is worrying. A ferocious beast whose senses are dominated by fear and despair.Meng Xiang could see clearly from the side, feeling a thin whip whipping his spine, feeling pain and guilt at the same time.

For the past three days, he had been by Gu Yi's side day and night, but he hadn't been able to say a word of affection to him. There seemed to be a solid door between the two of them, and he couldn't touch the doorknob, and couldn't open the lock.Gu Yi also wandered in a daze under the cover of this door, like a melancholy melody hidden in the thick fog, which could not be heard clearly.

Meng wanted to know that at this moment all his thoughts were tied to Gu Weidong's safety, like an overwhelmed ship with no capacity to pile up personal love affairs, so he was willing to accompany him silently, wanting to wait to cross this dangerous shoal until the wind blows Confess to him in a stable place.

On the night of the third day, a huge wave hit them, putting them in danger of capsizing.The police officer who handled the case called and said that the Yokohama police found the body of an unidentified man near Yokosuka Port today. The preliminary forensic identification was a middle-aged man aged 50 to 70. He died about 2 to 3 days ago. All signs were similar to Gu Weidong.

This horrifying news was like a hook that lured Meng Xiang and Gu Yi to Yokohama overnight. The winter night was as cold as an ice hell, and the morgue at the police station was like an ice coffin in hell. Gu Yi was too stiff to move when he walked to the door. , the blue-gray cold light in the room made his face pale, if it weren't for the trembling that couldn't be restrained by clenching his teeth and clenching his fists, he would look as if he was dead.

"Meng Sang, go in and take a look for me first~"

For the first time in three days, he took the initiative to talk to Meng Xiang. His pitiful tone was like a wounded bird begging for shelter. Meng Xiang helped him sit on the bench in the corridor and followed the police into the morgue.This space insulated from life is filled with a chilly atmosphere that penetrates the bone marrow. There are more than a dozen large iron drawers inlaid on the wall. The police officer opened one of the number 17, and a swollen gray-white flesh appeared in front of Meng Xiang. After soaking in the water for two or three days, it has become severely swollen and deformed, resembling dead pork flooded with water, emitting a pungent stench that cannot be detained even if it is frozen.

Meng Xiang's heart was so constricted that it could barely beat like an air bag that had been sucked out of air. If the deceased was really Gu Weidong, he would not only lose Gu Yi forever, but also bear the condemnation of his conscience for the rest of his life.

"Sir, please come here and confirm whether this is the person you are looking for."

The attitude of the police officers is polite and indifferent. They are impermanent on the line of life and death. They are used to all kinds of tragedies in the world, and their hearts are unwavering. Squeezed to the eyeballs, like a group of suicidal people preparing to jump off a cliff.

Fortunately, this eye is a safety net, stop them back to their original positions, the deceased has gray and long hair, this feature alone does not match Gu Weidong.

After he negotiated with the police, he walked out of the morgue. Gu Yi was panicking, and when he heard his footsteps, he immediately raised his neck like a swan that noticed the enemy.Meng Xiang walked towards him step by step. The fear in his eyes was like the rising water level in the flood season. Seeing that the embankment was about to burst, Meng Xiang rushed to report his safety and said, "Don't worry, that person is not Uncle Gu."

Gu Yi's eyes turned up slightly, his body leaned back, and he hit the edge of the collapse, his body collapsed like a soaked facial line, and let out a heavy gasp that was close to death.Meng wanted to know that he couldn't eat for the past few days, and his energy was already beyond his means. This level of psychological torture was likely to crush him, so he rushed up to support him, and comforted him softly with his arms around his shoulders.

Gu Yi's expression was even more hollow than a tiankeng, and there was no response from everything thrown in. After a few minutes, he slowly adjusted his breathing, shook off Meng Xiang's arm, got up and walked outside the police station.Meng Xiang still silently followed behind him as he did during most of these three days, looking at his thin figure, he felt like he was chasing a kite with a broken string, the wind of anxiety and worry kept swirling in his mind, It made him dizzy.

As everyone knows, this is still the calm before the storm.

Not far from the police station, Gu Yi stopped suddenly, Meng Xiang saw his shoulders shaking convulsively, thought he was uncomfortable, and hurried to catch up, just in time to send her face to his fist.

After two days without eating, Gu Yi's fist was still raging, causing him to roll several times on the ground like a tennis ball bouncing at high speed. Just as his body was out of inertial control, the front flap fell into the hands of the assailant again. Hold him, sit on him, look like a wolf driven mad with fierce eyes.

"It's all your fault! If you don't talk too much, Dad won't run away from home, it's all your fault!"

He kept holding back the fire, like a volcano conceived under the ice and snow, finally erupted in the gap between the loose crust. Meng Xiang felt sorry for him and felt sorry for him. At first, he let him beat and scold him, but he became more and more chaotic, and he seemed to be out of control. Trend, going crazy might damage your health, so he grabbed his hands to stop it.

"Calm down, isn't it all right now? Your father may just go out to relax because he is emotionally upset, and he will be back in a few days. What's the use of being anxious now?!"

"It's easy for you to say. I know Dad. He loves me the most. Knowing what I have done, he will definitely not be able to bear it!"

"Since you know that he loves you, why don't you love yourself and insist on being so cruel to yourself? It was you who stabbed your father in the heart with your own hands. You can't blame others!"

"How can I help him if I don't do that? You, an outsider, don't know anything about our family. If it weren't for Dad, I would have died more than ten years ago. This life was saved by him. I would do anything for him." Do!"

Gu Yi yelled wildly, revealing unknown information, but Meng Xiang had no time to delve into it, and only devoted himself to dissuading and comforting him. After a few rounds of wrestling, Gu Yi fell to his knees exhausted, and Meng Xiang followed him, hugging his limp body , gently patted his vest, comforting him like a child.

"I can't go back to Tokyo today. Let's find a hotel nearby for the night. You also need something to eat."

He first dragged Gu Yi to the hotel to check in, and while he was taking a shower, he went to the supermarket to buy food, and bought two sleeping pills at the pharmacy, secretly broke them up and melted them into milk and oatmeal, and persuaded him to eat them. Gu Yi is now a nutritious tree. Bad plants will wither if they are not supplemented with sleep and food.

The effect of the medicine took place very quickly, and his face returned to tranquility after falling asleep, his smooth and soft breathing was like the afterglow after a storm, but the lost luster could not be replenished for a while, Meng Xiang stared at him just like staring at a crumpled beautiful scroll , the heart became the martial arts arena of the scorpions, full of dense stinging pains.

People may not care about a broken weed, but it is hard not to feel sorry for a delicate flower that died young. Gu Yi is more dazzling than any other flower. He has reason to get the most abundant soil, the most abundant rain and dew, and the brightest sunshine. But the living environment is just like the muddy pond of chaotic rocks. How tenacious vitality and perseverance are needed to bloom in such a bad environment. He uses bright petals to cover the darkness of the root system, and only shares his beautiful fragrance with others. Bearing the bitterness and suffering alone, this introverted strength teaches people to be moved and distressed.

Meng Xiang's eyes were like a layer of mist rising from the surface of a lake in the early morning. He got into the quilt and hugged Gu Yi, tightening his arms tightly, as if defending a rare treasure. Create a century-old foundation to protect the Sleeping Beauty in your arms.

After four days of suspense, Gu Weidong finally sent back the news. Meng Xiang was cooking porridge at Gu's house when he suddenly heard Gu Yi talking in a hurry in the bedroom. Hold on to the phone tightly, as if a person in distress is anxiously calling for help.

"Dad, where are you, Dad? I'm worried that you are terribly worried, come back soon!"

Meng wanted to know that it was Gu Weidong who was calling, so his heart was finally settled, and he sat on the edge of the bed and patiently waited for their father and son to talk.Gu Yi was emotionally agitated, and the dark circles around his eyes that were slightly blue due to lack of sleep were painted with deep red again, but he shut his mouth without saying a few words, and responded with a nonchalant "hmm", presumably he was following his father's arrangement.

A few minutes later, Gu Yi hung up the line first, and Gu Yi put down the phone, and also put down a mountain that was pressing on him, and heaved a long sigh of relief.Meng wanted to bring a cup of hot water, but he took it and drank it, and finally there was a little warmth in his voice.

"Papa said he's in Shizuoka now."

"What is he going to Shizuoka for?"

"It is said that I can find a high-paying job there, and I can earn 100 million a month."

"What job pays so much?"

"I don't know. I told him to go to Shizuoka to find him. He also told me the address. I want to leave immediately."

"Okay, the porridge is ready, I'll accompany you after dinner."

Knowing that his father was still alive, Gu Yi calmed down and acted in an orderly manner with Meng Xiang's assistance. After dinner, he went back to his room to change his clothes. Perhaps he was frightened by his haggard appearance when he looked in the mirror, so he hurriedly twisted a hot towel to cover it. Eye.Meng wanted to hear that cold black tea bags could eliminate dark circles, so he made two of them and put them on for him. Gu Yi also made a mask by the way, to adjust his complexion better before going out.

Meng wanted to see that he was dressed neatly, and he kept stroking his hair on the way, as if he was going to meet his lover, he was as cautious as if he was going to meet his lover, he was not the distraught and slovenly appearance two days ago, knowing that he was afraid of his father's worry, but his heart was inevitably sour.When I didn't treat Gu Yi as a lover before, I heard him say that he is the person he likes the most in this world besides his father. I didn't feel anything, but now I was really moved. When I encounter such a situation again, think back to his words, I'm really not convinced - I obviously like him to the point of death, why should I be treated unfairly by him in the second place?

This ridiculous jealousy is caused by love, he sees it very clearly, so he is more sure of his feelings for Gu Yi, this boy has known him for more than three years, even though he has been hiding under the false identity of "Tiantian" before, he shows it His personality traits should be real, so it can be said that he has fallen in love with Gu Yi long ago, and now he has saved all his liking for Tiantian in his account, and has experienced the second quantitative change. The process of qualitative change has reached the state of deep love.

They came to Shizuoka by Shinkansen. Gu Weidong's place of work was not in the urban area. After changing trains, he went all the way to the scenic workstation at the foot of Mount Fuji.In winter, Mt. Fuji looks like a cake with a layer of cream flowers, round and plump in shape, and the Aokigahara forest at the foot of the mountain is covered with snow and silver, like a spotless sanctuary.Gu Yi contacted his father 10 minutes in advance. When he walked to the entrance of the scenic spot, Gu Weidong was already standing far away under the sign waiting.

Gu Weidong patted his son on the back to apologize, saying that he shouldn't make him worry without telling him.Seeing Meng Xiang standing aside foolishly, he gently supported Gu Yi's shoulder and pushed him away. Gu Yi's eye circles were red again after he finally swelled, and he asked with a sob, "Dad, what do you do here?"

Gu Weidong hesitated and said: "The scenic spot is recruiting a winter corpse collection team for the past few days. I caught up with the last batch of places and started working yesterday."

Aokigahara Forest Sea is a famous scenic spot of Mount Fuji, and it also has a well-known title at home and abroad: the Holy Land of Suicide.The jungle here is dense, the terrain is complicated, and it is close to a volcano. Affected by the magnetic field, the compass will also fail, and it is easy for people to get lost in it. Based on these conditions, it is favored by suicides and has become the first choice for many desperate people to seek relief.Since 1970, the Japanese government has organized a search for suicides every year to clean up the corpses who committed suicide in the forest that year. This operation is usually carried out in autumn and ends in early winter. This year, for unknown reasons, it was delayed until December.

"At the end of the month, the International Mountaineering Festival will be held here. The forest on the east side has not been cleared. The organizer was worried that the climbers would encounter corpses on the way, so they specially organized a second cleanup. It is difficult to find corpses in the snow, and the rewards are high. , You can earn at least 100 million yuan by working for two weeks, and you can settle another compensation.”

The Japanese are extremely superstitious, and they are very awe-inspiring and taboo to the dead, and collecting corpses is also called "picking up tuna", and this kind of work is generally reserved for desperate people.

Gu Yi was very distressed, he pulled Gu Weidong back and said, "It's so cold and dangerous in the forest, you can't compare with young people when you're old, what if you get injured? Don't do it, go home, we'll find another way. "

Gu Weidong shook his head: "No, this job must be done in order to pay back the money. Xiao Yi, you can leave your father's affairs alone in the future. I have dragged you down enough. If this continues, you will be completely ruined. Today is called You came here just to discuss with you, let's... Let's break away from the father-son relationship. "

His words were like a bayonet piercing through the quiet forest, Gu Yi was stabbed into the center room by the sharp point of the knife, his shock was condensed on his face for a long time, before he shouted: "Father!"

Gu Weidong turned sideways in pain, and sighed: "I have already thought about it, I will call the newspaper office tomorrow to publish the newspaper, and those creditors will stop harassing you after breaking off the relationship. From now on, you will live a good life alone, no need I will suffer with my father again."

"No! Dad, you can't do this!"

Gu Yi grabbed his father's sleeve, like a drowning man grabbing driftwood, refusing to let go no matter what.Meng Xiang also hastily tried to persuade him from the side: "Uncle Gu, why are you bothering? Gu Yi is very attached to his father, you are hurting him too much by doing this!"

Gu Weidong's helplessness was boiled in bitter wine, and when it was poured out, it made people cry, and he said in a sad voice, "Xiao Meng, you don't know that I haven't paid off the debts from the fire before. Xiaoyi has been helping me pay off the debts, and those creditors also recognize it. He, if he follows me, he will never be able to succeed. I can't let him do that kind of thing for money again. To keep him, I have to sever ties with him."

Gu Yi burst into tears and cried, "Father, I'm not afraid of suffering, I still want to honor you well, you don't have to worry about me, I'm already an adult, I can handle any burden!"

As soon as he cried, Gu Weidong also shed tears, held his hand and sighed bitterly: "Silly boy, Dad just doesn't want you to suffer any more. You are Dad's heart and soul. Knowing that you have suffered those hardships outside, my heart is like a knife. You If you do that kind of thing again, Dad would rather die immediately..." He wiped his eyes and said to Meng Xiang: "Xiao Meng, you have to remember what we said that day, I will entrust Xiao Yi to you, You have to take good care of him for me."

Before Meng Xiang could say anything, Gu Yi had already screamed to block him out, grabbed Gu Weidong's hands tightly and cried, "Dad, don't do this, I don't want anyone! I am your son, and I should dedicate myself to you. Do you remember when I was sick when I was a child? At that time, I was so sick that I was dying. My family said there was no hope, and even my mother wanted to give up. It was you who insisted on treating me to save me. The food you ate in those years I have suffered much more than I do now, and you did not abandon me in such a difficult time. Without you, I would never be able to live today. Now, what is it if I repay you a little? Please don’t want me, I will kneel down for you , Is it okay to kowtow to you, Dad~"

He really knelt down in the snow and begged his father. His crying sounded like pieces of torn silk fluttering in the forest, and the surrounding birds flew away unbearably.Meng Xiang and Gu Weidong bent down to help him together, and his heart was broken by his crying. Seeing the father and son hugging each other and crying, Meng Xiang sadly advised: "Uncle Gu, don't be stubborn. Half of your life is at stake, if you break away from him again, you will really kill him."

Gu Weidong held Gu Yi in his arms and burst into tears: "I can't help it. He is still so young, so I can't ruin his life because of me. I have always been conscientious in doing things, and I will be responsible for everything I do. I didn't expect to be responsible for others. I am responsible, but I failed to take responsibility for my son, causing him to be like this, what kind of conscience do I have?"

Poor parents all over the world, a person like Gu Weidong who has been a father and a mother for many years and has worked so hard to raise his child, naturally regards his son as his life, and would rather cut himself into pieces than let him be humiliated again.Meng wanted to understand Gu Yi's feelings. He is also a kind and honest person, and he could also understand Gu Weidong's thoughts. At this moment, he was standing at the breach of a dam, facing the monstrous waves. Putting his hands on the shoulders of the father and son, he said resolutely: "Uncle Gu, we didn't drink for nothing that day. Now your family's affairs are my affairs. I will definitely help you tide over the difficulties."
